minus-square@StukalinkEnglish14•11 months agoThat’s not a real reason. Most courts are recorded, have stenographer and apparently sketch artists. There’s absolutely no reason for court sketch artists to exist in modern society. It’s just silly and wreaks of some conservative tradition.

…why are courtroom sketch artist still a thing?
Because it’s usually not allowed to take pictures in court
That’s not a real reason. Most courts are recorded, have stenographer and apparently sketch artists. There’s absolutely no reason for court sketch artists to exist in modern society. It’s just silly and wreaks of some conservative tradition.
I don’t think providing steady employment to a local artist is the worst thing taxes support.
If we’re gonna be handing out money for totally worthless tasks, oh boy imma be rich
Be real, bro, you already do that.
…are you illiterate? That’s exactly what I said.
I called your current job useless, actually, but don’t worry your pretty little head about the details.
Oh, you are illiterate. Ok then.

Think it’s to protect the identities of people
It’s working well, I definitely do not know it’s trump Jr there.
That’s not who it’s supposed to be protecting lol
Then who’s it supposed to protect?
Witnesses, the jury, people like that
Because AI aren’t allowed in court, yet…
“Why does the defendant have a different number of fingers in every scene?”
-AI flips you off with 13 middle fingers on each hand
Artist is better for privacy.
